Personally, I think it's better that they are not. Having a trusted adult to talk to in confidence could be very important to some students.
I think it's good that they be well-informed on the options available to students and trained to provide appropriate support and guidance, but I feel that a mandatory reporting requirement may deter their ability to provide that support.
As it stands right now, if a member of the chapter I work with were to come to me to discuss a private manner, I would not be able to do so.
